Bringing up the next generation at Alpental

Skiing with the kids is pretty dang fun.

Yeah! Even better when I asked them what they wanted to do on Christmas: #1: GO SKIING!!
And when I asked what they wanted for Christmas:
#2: A date with you skiing!
Happy to oblige . . . Not sure if they're more stoked or me.

Just got my daughter (20mo.) geared up, she's only done a few runs down the hallway but I'm sure she's good for at least 100yrds. waiting for that blue bird, sparkly snow day. Thanks for the skis Offpiste,

Today my daughter (4.1 yrs) skied for the first time while not being held up between my legs. Now she holds on to a ski pole. I thought it was great progress.

I asked her if she had fun, and she said "It was fun, then I got cold. Why does snow do that?"

BTW Whistler has loads of great snow and more on its way. After Katie was toast, did Peak to Creek twice and found pretty good patches of untracked snow along the edges and threading between one run and the next. To skiers left on the way down there sure are tempting untracked glades outside the resort area - no partner so bummer.

No worries, weezer. Thanks for the burger dips & deep fried 'shrooms.


She's a cutie!

Love your pic Weezer. I have a similar one of my son that's priceless.

Found out that my free(literally) "found in ditch" camera takes video clips. So, here are pictures from today: Yay!
